Calyx RIM Publisher

Run Prepare to Publish

Use the Prepare to Publish option to prepare your assembly for publishing.

To prepare to publish:
  1. On the action toolbar, choose Prepare to Publish.
  2. On the Prepare to Publish dialog box, select the options you want to perform for the publication.
    • Publishing Output Channel - Choose Electronic or Paper output.
    • Generate Missing Renditions and Extractions - You must have a license for Calyx RIM rendering and publishing services to generate missing renditions.
    • Remove Empty Assembly Folders - This removes any empty folder elements from the assembly.
    • Remove Empty Assembly Leafs - This removes any leaf elements that have no content from the assembly. It skips reference leaf elements and elements with metadata.
    • Prepare Cross-Reference Leafs - This ensures that the checksum is correct and is available when you are publishing any cross-reference leafs that point to content outside of the current sequence.
    • Render Generated TOCs and Special Sheet Templates - If TOCs or special sheets are missing, they are created.
    • Generate TOCs - If you have not generated TOCs or if the TOC is outdated, this generates the TOCs. After generation is complete, the TOC is available as a Word document and can be previewed in Calyx RIM. (The text in the right column of a TOC will not resolve for a leaf element that has no document assigned.)
    • Generate Volumes - If you have not inserted or locked volumes, this function recalculates all volumes in the assembly. If there are locked volumes in the assembly, this refreshes the page counts and volume names prior to publishing.
    • Update Volume Page Counts - When selected, this function updates the page count for each volume within an assembly. The number is shown on the Volume View page as a Total Sheets/Pages attribute. It is also shown in brackets on the tooltip that appears on the Volume icon in the assembly.
    • Refresh Publishing Readiness Data - This refreshes the information in the Publishing Readiness Report based on the selected output channel. To see the report, this must be run at least once.
    • Refresh Link Inspector Data - This is required if you want to run the Link Inspector report.  This is necessary to create in-process links or perform in-process link retargeting.
    • Refresh Link Inspector View - Choose Current Sequence View Only (refreshes only the current sequence), or Entire Working Assembly (refreshes the current sequence and all previous sequences).
